No deal Shel. I'm 1,500 kilometres from the nearest place likely to have a scanner of that type, let alone somewhere to rent time on one. I'll be looking for a cheap scanner in time...

Cheers

Shaun

Hi,

Have you checked any of the pro-type labs in your area to see if they will
rent time on a scanner?  Around here there are a few places that'll do
that, and they rent time on very high quality Imacon scanners, so the
results are quite good.  BTW, the Coolscan V is a pretty nice unit, but a
Coolscan IV may be an even better deal, especially if you can get it with
some accessories.

I think I would buy a scanner first Brian, as I would have at least
$1200 worth of scans at that rate. A slide scanner, bought on eBay or
such, and then resold, would still probably be the best bet., but I
can't spare the cash at the moment...other more pressing issues I am
afraid.

Thanks for the info though. I think I will wait until a second hand
Nikon Coolscan V or similar pops up on eBay at the right price.
